Prologue: The Prophecy
On September 19th, 1979 a scream was heard from one of the private rooms at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries and then was joined by the sound of two crying babies.
On September 26th, 1979 Remus Lupin and his wife of four years Ambrosial were sitting at home with their three kids, two only a week old, when there was a knock on their front door. Looking up surprised Remus handed Ambrosial his eldest daughter before he walked out of the room and returned a few minutes later with Albus Dumbledore.
Ambrosial looked up at one of the most powerful wizards in the world surprised. "Albus, what's wrong?"
Albus inclined his head in greeting to their three year old son Ashwin before he replied to his only months ago student, "Hello to you to Mrs. Lupin." Ambrosial had the decency to blush slightly as Remus sat back down between his son and wife before he took Skylar from her arms.
"In answer to your question Ambrosial, I have some rather grave news to tell you. About three weeks before you gave birth to your lovely daughters, Professor Trelawney stopped me in one of the corridors with a frightened look on her face." Dumbledore paused here before he continued, taking in the little blue eyes of the newborns before him.
"When I asked her what was wrong she opened her mouth to answer me, but… well I must say it was one of the strangest things. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her voice came out all raspy. She started to tell me a prophecy."
With these words Remus' eyes got wide "What does this have to do with us Albus?" Dumbledore's eyes got a sad look in them before he answered. "When I was at the ministry, I ran across your daughters' birth certificate and I knew I had to come see you immediately." Upon seeing a further look of confusion and doubt on their faces, he continued. "Let me tell you the prophecy."
"A girl born of a wolf will hinder the rise of the Dark ones.
One of two she will be born with a curse that has haunted both worlds for ages.
She will live a life of lies and deceit until the truth falls from her own mouth.
She will be hunted by both sides once they find out what she will become.
With the help of her friends the final decision will be made to fight them.
Once accepted nothing will change her fate.
No one will stand in her way, for if they do, they will meet her fury.
She will be known as Hera."
When Albus finished reciting the Prophecy Remus and Ambrosial were looking at each other in shock and then very slowly, they tilted their heads down to look at the little baby in Ambrosial's arms. The little girl that just had a destiny shoved onto her shoulders was fast asleep wrapped in a royal blue blanket with her name on it. Hermione Amelia Hera Lupin.
On October 31st 1981, Lily and James Potter were found dead in their home in Godric's Hollow. The Dark Lord Voldemort had been informed of their hiding place and succeeded in killing them before he moved on to their year old son Harry. Unfortunately for Voldemort Lily's sacrifice for her son managed to stop the curse from killing her son thus causing the rebound of the curse to force the Dark Lord from his body. From that moment on, the Wizarding World called the little boy with a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead, the chosen one.
Back in Berkshire, Albus Dumbledore paid another visit to the Lupin family. Upon seeing the now two year old twins with their five year old brother, Albus quickly made a decision that he hoped he would never regret. "Remus, Ambrosial, now that young Mister Potter has defeated Voldemort, I believe your daughter is no longer required to fulfill her prophecy."
Upon hearing the news, Remus and a happily pregnant Ambrosial thanked the Headmaster.
On December 17th 1981 a group of fifteen Deatheaters stormed Diagon Alley where they were met with more than twenty Aurors. As the various battles raged on, five Deatheaters gathered around to fight off only two Aurors, twin brothers named Fabian and Gideon Prewett. In another part of Diagon Alley Juliette Lupin, Remus' older sister, slowly helped capture the remaining ten Deatheaters before she turned to help her fiancée Gideon and his brother with their battle. As Juliette was running to their side she heard the distinctive voice of her brother's best friend, Severus Snape as he cast curses at Fabian.
"Gideon watch out!" Juliette yelled as a curse was fired at him. Gideon turned and yelled a curse in return before he yelled to Juliette. "Jinx, get out of here!" Those were the last words spoken by the Prewett twins as two killing curses struck them directly in the chest.
The next few days Juliette spent grieving before she packed up all her belongings and fled to the muggle world, intent on keeping her job as an Auror but not living in her world. She stopped all communication with her brother and his family as a result.
On March 30th 1982, Ambrosial gave birth to her last child, a baby girl she proceeded to name Victoria Tawny Lupin. And a year later, when the twins turned four and Ashwin seven he made a mistake near the full moon and his younger sister Hermione accidently turned him into a werewolf. Ashwin resented her for that for a long long time.
In 1984 a member of the Lupin- Snape family betrayed them to what was left of the Dark Lord by telling the soul Hermione's prophecy. When the families found out they instantly disowned him and he was sent to Azkaban Prison without a trial.
